Ophir Mountain is an 11.4-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Colorado, managed by Pike-San Isabel National Forest's South Park Ranger District. This route offers hikers an extended journey through national forest terrain without requiring a shuttle. The out-and-back format means hikers will retrace their path on the return, covering approximately 22.8 miles round trip. The trail is situated within the Pike-San Isabel National Forest system, which encompasses diverse landscapes across central Colorado. The South Park Ranger District manages this area to maintain trail conditions and access. Hikers should be prepared for a full-day outing given the distance involved. As with most national forest trails in Colorado, weather can change rapidly, and hikers should carry adequate water and supplies. Before heading out, check current conditions with Pike-San Isabel National Forest or the South Park Ranger District, as trail maintenance schedules and seasonal closures may affect access. This trail is suitable for hikers with moderate endurance who are comfortable spending several hours on the trail.
